Ryan Adams - 2025 Reissue

Sony Music

Released in 2014 and charting at number six in the UK (and number four on the Billboard 200 in the US), Adams’ self-titled album, produced by the artist and his recording partner Mike Viola, earned two nominations at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in ‘Best Rock Song’, for lead single ‘Gimme Something Good’ and ‘Best Rock Album’.

After the largely acoustic 'Ashes & Fire', it marked a return to a rocking, electric approach inspired by the music he listened to while growing up: "The music that really, really mattered to me… nothing’s ever going to be more important to me than The Wipers, Hüsker Dü, The Replacements.”

On his decision to release a self-titled album, Adams stated: "I could not think of a name for this record. Everything I came up with sounded so stupid. Everything sounded like a King Crimson album title,….I was like, I can’t call this ‘Shadows’ or something, I just can’t do it.“

Ashes & Fire - 2025 Reissue

Sole Aspect

After the dissolution of his band, The Cardinals, in 2009 and some much-needed R&R, Ryan Adams returned in style in 2011 with his 13th studio album.

'Ashes & Fire', produced by Glyn Johns and preceded by one of Adams’ most popular singles, ‘Lucky Now’, entered the UK chart at number nine (his best showing) and in the US at number seven. It features significant contributions from Norah Jones (piano and backing vocals) and Benmont Tench of Tom Petty ‘s Heartbreakers (keyboards) and is widely regarded as one of the artist’s best and most consistent efforts.

Indeed, here in the UK BBC Music described it as, "an album that delivers more and more with every listen,” while NME called it, “an album worth celebrating now”; an assessment that still applies 14 years on.

TRACK LISTING

1. Dirty Rain
2. Ashes & Fire
3. Come Home
4. Rocks
5. Do I Wait
6. Chains Of Love
7. Invisible Riverside

Changes

Pax Am

Ryan Adams has always included a number of cover versions in his live sets. Most prominent is Oasis' Wonderwall (not included here) which went on to be one of his biggest ever songs when it was physically released as a single. He's an artist, also, that's whizzed between genres, unashamedly wearing his musical heart on his sleeve.

Finally Adams has released the album we've all been waiting for: his soulful, unique take on some of his favourite ever songs. Here we have 20 tracks from all over the musical spectrum taking in the Velvets, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Repalcements , Alice in Chains, then beautiful "surprises" like The Smiths, Prince, Pixies and even Simple Minds. My personal favourite though is his moving reading of the gorgeous Black Sabbath song "Changes".

Ryan Adams has been in deep and choppy waters in recent times, and its hard not to think that his enduring love of music, coupled with his ridiculous and undeniable talent , is the one thing that's kept him afloat. Maybe these songs are his "rubber rings"? Sounds like it to me. It makes for a superb record.

Ryan Adams

Blackhole

Pax Am

Ryan Adams’ infamous cult classic album “Blackhole” is released on classic black vinyl and CD for the very first time. The album’s contents and final tracklisting have been widely speculated since its conception in the early 00’s. After nearly two decades of anticipation, Adams is now ready to unveil the official release of Blackhole. Featuring “Catherine”, heard only in live performances, alongside previously unheard material, Blackhole captures the raw, unfiltered emotion that defines Adam’s songwriting. The shelved album, first demoed in 2006, became heavily bootlegged, with fans circulating low-quality recordings and snippets from live performances, fuelling a demand for the album’s official release. This long-awaited, full-length album not only satisfies years of fan speculation, but also reclaims a crucial moment in Ryan Adam’s history.
